Eddie Trunk is a music industry veteran who has built a reputation for being one of the most respected personalities in the world of Hard Rock. He started his career in 1983 right after graduating high school.  Eddie has spent time as a record executive and has also worked in artist management, but has really found his calling as a broadcaster.

Eddie began his broadcasting career in 1983, after convincing the execs at his favorite local radio station, WDHA in NJ, to allow him to produce a hard rock/heavy metal specialty show – one of the first of it’s kind.  That show continues to this day under the banner of Eddie Trunk Rocks (also labeled Friday Night Rocks in NYC).  “Eddie Trunk Rocks” originates out of New York City, the number one radio market, on Q104.3 and is syndicated nationally and heard on more than 30 stations including other top 10 markets such as The Pike in Boston. The 3 hour weekly show includes new and classic hard rock music hand picked by Eddie as well as news making artist interviews and more. It is also available on various streams free.

Eddie also hosts Trunk Nation, a weekly live music, talk & interview show every Monday night live 5-8P EST on SiriusXM satellite radio channel 39 (Hair Nation), which is branded “Trunk Nation” during his program. The show has become appointment listening throughout America and Canada due to its in depth interviews, commentary and wide ranging guests and audience calls. It is one of satellite radios few live interactive shows on a music channel and features Eddie’s brand of “music and talk that rocks”. He also hosts a daily rock talk and interview show called Trunk Nation that launched in 2016. It airs Monday-Friday live 3-5P EST on SiriusXM 103 Faction Talk. It makes news daily with Eddie’s in depth interviews with the biggest names  in rock.

In 2002 Eddie took the leap into television after being hired as a host on VH1’s sister station, VH1 Classic, where Eddie was regularly seen hosting the interview series Hanging With as well as appearing on many of the station’s other segments and specials.  He was host and co-producer of the hit series That Metal Show, the longest running program in the station’s history.  That Metal Show was seen around the world and was a favorite destination for many Hard Rock/Heavy Metal fans. It aired from 2008-2016 for over 100 episodes. Eddie’s TV work also includes AXS TV where he had his own music travel show called Trunk Fest, MTV, VH1, MSG Network and more.

Eddie is armed with a true passion for the music he so feverishly champions.  A true scholar of the genre, his encyclopedic knowledge of both it’s history and it’s current events has led him to be widely regarded as one of it’s foremost authorities by fans and artists alike.   Consequently, it made perfect sense that Eddie would eventually turn his attention to writing.  In 2010, Eddie added “author” to his list of media credits and released his first book “Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal.”  The book was very well received by  critics and fans alike.  In 2013 the sequel, “Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vol. 2,” was released to equally strong sales and response. Both books were released by Abrams Publishing.

In 2014 after many requests Eddie added a weekly podcast to his outlets. “The Eddie Trunk Podcast” is produced by SiriusXM and new episodes post every Thursday. The podcast features interviews from his daily radio show re purposed for a worldwide audience.

Eddie Trunk has dedicated his life to the music and artists he loves. Since 1983 he has been the leading figure in rock music broadcasting through decades of work in TV, Radio, and hosting endless live music events.
